Madrid Business Pulse
- Culture Values networking and personal relationships. The work day often ends later than in Northern Europe.
- Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call during the 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM lunch window. The best times are 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM or 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM. Spanish business culture is highly relational; expect to spend time on personal introductions. Note that the city significantly slows down during the month of August.

- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a casual professional environment (lots of tech-casual wear). Networking often happens over coffee; many locals are flexible with virtual meeting times but value their time in nature, so avoid late evening or weekend intrusions.
